Go Bananas is our annual fundraising appeal in June where we quite literally, GO BANANAS in a quest to raise tens of thousands of pounds throughout the month. As well as our annual 5k Sunshine Run on Newcastle's Quayside, we also organise bucket collections, bag packs, bake sales and dress down days galore! Anything goes! Our supporters even organise their events including cycles, swims, runs, team events.... we've seen it all and we can't wait to see what 2018 has in store.
Go Bananas, sponsored by intu Eldon Square and intu Metrocentre, is our biggest fundraising appeal and we ask that the North East gets behind us this June to make 2018 a year to remember for children with disabilities in the North East!
